DC Police Chief out

[Anonymous]

Was he pushed out or did Muriel pull a play from Trump? With all the bad press surrounding his department, I saw this coming.

Prince William Co.? Seems like a big step down.

Not when you consider the nightmare it's going to be working within the dysfunctional, "woke" city that is DC. Sounds like a logical way to take a slight salary cut, while maintaining your sanity.

Yes. It’s about damn time. Do t let the door hit you on your way out.

I guess this paves the way for the DC council to have a social worker as Chief.

A *volunteer* social worker. Remember, police are no longer worthy of a salary in the eyes of the Woke White Left.

According to Post he left voluntarily, with a significant pay cut. I fully respect his move and thank him for his service. Our mealy-mouthed, woke Council want people to happily do jobs where they are set up to fail. Most people with integrity won't tolerate that for long, not for themselves or for the people they are meant to protect and serve. #Fail

Councilmembers tweeting rude comments to someone who served on DC force 31 years just makes DC look worse and worse.

No, it just reminds the region and the wider world what DC has become.

Right wingers are either too ignorant to understand what "defund the police" actually means or are fully aware and as usual making bad faith arguments to "stick it to the libs," all the while demanding that we reach across the aisle and "be civil" despite spending the past 4 years "making liberals cry again" and insisting liberals have no right to their opinions because "elections have consequences."

In this case it's almost certainly the latter, a cop worshipping bootlicker who sees law enforcement not a means to respectfully keep the peace but as a force whose main purpose is to brutalize and punish anyone different from them for having the audacity to exist while poor and/or black or brown. Their fragile worldview is threatened by the possibility of treating poor and marginalized people as victims of a failed system who need extra help instead of born criminals, so they misrepresent any plan to change the current broken system in a pathetic and impotent attempt to justify their classism and racism, and cling to their outdated and antiquated notion of "us vs. them."

It seems like the PP was talking about you, and he/she was right too.

I think it's pretty simple - he doesn't want to be blamed for the huge increase in crime that has happened and will continue to happen as police basically abandon the urban areas and leave them to the criminals to control. And, he gets a better quality of life. When law and order returns he has the bona fides to immediately step in to another big city role, all of which will be open in 3-4 years when people are tired of seeing cities burn.

It isn't just rightwingers who think the whole "defund the police" thing is ill-advised. Those of us on the moderate left see it as the product of an academic bubble that has lost touch with reality. Low income neighborhoods want more and better policing, not less. The real victims here are the ones who are oppressed by crime, not the criminals...
